If you want to understand how we ended up in this mess, you go to an expert.
The Common Table talked to political economist @jennifer-clapp.bsky.social about her banging new book: "Titans of Industrial Agriculture: How a Few Giant Corporations Came to Dominate the Farm Sector and Why It Matters".
Tan Book cover with green and brown text. Upper right corner has a seventeenth century engraved image of a Black body that looks like classical sculpture with a white head. It is holding a sheaf of cane.
Feels wrong to celebrate while academia is on 🔥, but this week I got the lovely cover for my long overdue book *The Sweet Taste of Empire: Sugar, Mastery and Pleasure in the Anglo Caribbean* forthcoming from UPenn Press!

Cover of Ice Geographies: The Colonial Politics of Race & Indigeneity in the Arctic. The cover features an abstract art piece by Darcie Bernhardt. The piece is titled Beluga Hunting and depicts a light pink, green, and blue marbled pattern. Forked green and white lines within the pattern evoke topographic striations.
"Ice Geographies" by Jen Rose Smith @sprucehen.bsky.social centers ice to critically study racialization, land dispossession, and Indigenous knowledge production about icy places, both historically and in the modern moment of climate change. Read the intro for free now! #Environment

Why are minerals so central to geopolitics? How green are electric cars? Why is anti-mining protest increasing? Can the inequalities of the global economy be transformed?
I tackle these topics in my book EXTRACTION: The Frontiers of Green Capitalism

we also don't talk enough about LiveonRelease
New review is up for Soylandia:
It looks boring but it's kinda cool that you wrote a whole book.

Today is publication day! I explain how agricultural inputs - which weren't even widely traded market goods 200 years ago - have become giant industries dominated by just a handful of transnational firms today.

Many thanks to those who helped me along the way!
"Cet ouvrage mêle carnets d’exploration, récits de découverte, interludes théoriques et méthodologiques et représentations cartographiques afin de constituer un nouvel outil de visualisation de la zone critique … de ses dynamiques et des cycles qui rendent la Terre habitable."
I promise not to try not to let you down
Wild how the category of “women” must both be ruthlessly defended by the right but also stripped from all direct research, support, or institutional funding.
It is publication day for THE CINEMA OF EXTRACTIONS (@columbiaup.bsky.social), a book about the materials that make movies possible and how to read between the raw materials and the screen worlds they create.
I find myself unexpectedly writing about Foucault. This is yesterdays meme, but it made me laugh.
Plato was made for social media. First tries to mansplain about how Homer didn’t write the Odyssey right, and is so wrong that he eventually doubles down until he’s arguing that poets don’t belong in society 😅
Let's make this a thing! Folks researching the political economy of food and agriculture. Let me know if you should be added to this list!

Comment la production et la circulation des céréales et du blé en particulier a participé au développement et à l’évolution des grandes puissances modernes ? 🌾
C'est le sujet des "Guerres du blé" d'Alessandro Stanziani, à réécouter dans La Terre au carré : www.radiofrance.fr/franceinter/...

👉🏼 « Attachements » de Charles Stépanoff
C’est quoi ? Un voyage qui explore nos relations avec notre environnement à l’heure où nos rapports avec le vivant se sont énormément appauvris.
Pour qui ? Les amateur.ices d’anthropologie et les urbain.es en quête de sens.
📚 Sous la direction de Julia Csergo et @vtroitran.bsky.social (CELAT), le dernier numéro d’𝐸𝑡ℎ𝑛𝑜𝑙𝑜𝑔𝑖𝑒𝑠, consacré aux «Identités alimentaires au Québec», a pour sa part été mis en ligne en octobre sur Érudit. Bonne lecture!

Bonjour, la séance a été enregistrée mais cela prendra peut-être un certain temps avant qu’elle soit diffusée étant donné qu’il y avait quelques problèmes de son à certains moments
Ce lundi à 14 heures, pour le cycle Villes terrestres, la philosophe Joelle Zask, spécialiste de la philosophie pragmatiste et traductrice de John Dewey, discutera virtuellement de son livre Zoocities: des animaux sauvages dans la ville.
